Alonso to race in Valencia

Renault and Fernando Alonso have won an appeal against a one-race ban, clearing them to race in Sunday's European Grand Prix.

With the ban overturned Alonso will now race at his home GP in Valencia, which is likely to prove highly popular with the Spanish crowd.

The French team were punished after allowing Alonso to leave the pit lane with a loose wheel at last month's Hungarian Grand Prix.

After hearing Renault's appeal, the FIA yesterday overturned the ban and instead fined the team just over u00a330,000.
